Patent GB-190704610-A (GB)
Title: An Improved Hoisting Winch
Inventor: OCHS JACOB
Filed: 1907-02-25
Granted: 1908-02-06
Abstract: 4610. Ochs, J. Feb. 25. Winches.-In hoisting-winches of the kind in which the drum shaft is coupled to the drum and to a ratchet-wheel by means of a screw &c. when the handle is rotated for hoisting, while the coupling acts as a brake during lowering, a braking- element is provided between the shaft and the drum so as to ensure the relative motion at the screw surface, necessary to sustain the load. Fig. 1 shows the winch in sectional elevation, and Figs. 3 and 4 are views of the bearing h and braking- element g. The winch casing r carries a bearing h for the drum shaft a, on which bearing the drum shaft is mounted loosely. Between the drum b and a collar on the shaft is mounted a ratchetwheel e engaged by a pawl f. Disks are mounted between the ratchet-wheel, the collar, and the drum. The coupling of the parts is effected by a hut c carried by the drum and engaging a thread i on the shaft. The bearing h has a recess to receive a segmental piece g, which is free to move radially, but is prevented from rotating by a projection g<1>. When the load is being lowered, the engagement between the drum and its shaft is loosened to such an extent that the weight of the load presses the segmental block g into engagement with the shaft a. The friction between the block g and its shaft is greater than that between the nut and the shaft, so that if the load tends to run down, the shaft is held sufficiently to allow a relative movement at the screw and nut, which results in the drum being pressed against the ratchet-wheel e, and secured from descent. When the coupling is disconnected, the drum is guided by the ring-shaped piece g in such a way that it can only move at right-angles to the axis of the shaft, so that the nut c takes up no radial pressure.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Oil-tight Casings for Transformers and the like
Inventor: RAYMOND EDWARD BRACKETT
Filed: 1907-12-24
Granted: 1908-05-07
Abstract: 28,427. Raymond, E. B., and Ramp, H. M. Jan. 2, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Casting and moulding.- Oiltight casings have sides of sheet iron, preferably corrugated and made with welded joints, to which the ends forming the top and bottom of the casing are cast in a special manner to ensure interfusion between the cast and sheet metal. The invention is described as applied to an electric transformer casting. The sides A are made to project upwards from the sand forming the bottom of the mould, and the mould itself is arranged so that the molten metal may be poured in at the centre C, first filling .the portion enclosed by the sides A, and then flowing over their edges, so producing the interfusion desired. Vent-holes such as D, E are arranged in the top of the mould. The metal may be made to continue its flow after the mould is full. but adjustment of the amount of projection of the sides A into the mould usually suffices to make a sound joint. The Specification covers any arrangement in which the molten metal is caused to flow over the edge of the sheet metal. A similar method of casting a ring-shaped top to the transformer casing is also described.
